Description
The BEST Fudgy Chewy Brookies
Ingredients
Scale
- 95 g (¾ cup) all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 225 g (1¼ cups) dark chocolate, chopped
- 56 g (¼ cup) butter, salted or unsalted
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 100 g (¾ cup) caster or granulated sugar
- 90 g (½ cup) demerara or raw sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 85 g (½ cup) dark or milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat to 160°C (320°F) fan or 170°C (338°F) conventional. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Melt Chocolate & Butter: Place the chopped chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over gently simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Whip Eggs & Sugars: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, caster sugar, and demerara sugar on high speed for about 5 minutes until very pale, thick, and fluffy.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Combine: Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs. Carefully fold in the dry ingredients just until combined.
- Bake: Scoop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared tray, leaving space between each. Bake for 12–14 minutes, until the tops are crackly and set but still soft inside.
- Cool & Finish: Optional: sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt straight out of the oven. Let cool on the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overbake: The centers should look slightly underdone—they firm up as they cool.
- Demerara sugar: Adds crunch and depth of flavor. You can substitute turbinado or raw sugar.
- Even baking: Use a cookie scoop for uniform size.
- Cooling matters: Letting them rest on the tray prevents breakage.
